Broken windscreen - autoglass
Discussion
So on the way into work this morning something hit the screen and made an almighty mess, impact area about the size of a gold ball and multiple ring fractures dispersing across a foot square of the screen.
I've called autoglass and they're set to replace it on Friday (non in the local depot), my question is will they fit an OEM screen and are there any issues if they don't?
I've called them back with the part number and manufacturer but do I have any grounds to ensure they fit an OEM screen??
How has anyone else approached this?
Cheers

Thanks for the replies..
So I spoke to Porsche today, £500 for the screen and if they fit a further £175
My insurer says they will cover £200 max for a screen, so I'd still have to pay £475. Or I can just pay my excess of £75 and get whatever Autoglass provide.
Part of me wants to buy OEM but I can't warrant £400 out of my own pocket, hmmm.

Further update... screen direct from Porsche is £500 including the VAT, my insurance will contribute towards it but I'd still have to pay £282 plus the £75 excess for OEM (fitted).
Autoglass however will supply and fit OEM for an additional £174 plus my £75 excess, so that's what I'm doing, screen should be here tomorrow fitted Friday, fingers crossed it will all go smoothly.
